Recovery International was founded in 1937 and conducts weekly group peer-led meetings in nearly 600 communities around the world, as well as telephone and Internet-based meetings. The world's oldest self-help mental health group, Recovery International is a program of Abraham Low Self-Help Systems, a non-profit, non-sectarian, consumer-run organization.
The Recovery International cognitive behavioral training system teaches people to control behaviors and change attitudes toward anger and fears. People who practice the tools learn to change their thoughts and behaviors; changes in attitudes and beliefs follow.

The Recovery tools that have helped me the most include doing things in part acts, deciding, planning and acting, acting in a cultured manner, being group minded (thinking of the group more than just yourself), using self control, replacing insecure thoughts with secure thoughts and dropping exceptionality.
The group meetings are a great way to reinforce the concepts and gain encouragement and support from other RI members.
One of my favorite RI sayings is "making your mental health a business and not a game".
My psyychologist sent me to Recovery. At the first meeting I heard the leader give an example with manyof the same symptoms I suffered from. However she no longer had them. I finally had hope that if she could do it I could. I put all my effort into the program and have been well for many years. I was able to go through the death of my husband and the care of 5 teenagers, and returning to college to get my degree and many , many other things that could not have been possible before Recovery. When I tooke sick there were no medicines abailable to help with the symptoms.
